River Shannon Breakfast Blend (TB20) from Upton Tea Imports

Ewa drank River Shannon Breakfast Blend (TB20) by Upton Tea Imports

Well, back to mornings as usual at Chez Ewa. Let this steep for maybe a minute before running out the door. Ah mornings. You suck.

So, I’ve been letting this stuff air out in a shallow container in hopes of getting rid of the chai contamination, and I decided it was time to risk it again. The root beer taste IS gone, thank goodness. But there’s nothing to replace it. It just tastes kind of generic and slightly astringent. Maybe I should just give up on this stuff?

Do you know Richard Cheese? He has a song about how people equal (edited version:) poo-poo. I could easily substitute mornings for people in the lyrics. Easily.

OMG. At least someone who appreciates the great lost art of lounge singing. I’d heard his star wars cantina song (because I am a giant nerd, obviously), but I’d never looked up his other songs. Very nice :D I hate everyone, by Go Set Go is my go to song to start the day off with.

I hate everyone! ::gets warm fuzzies:: I’d never heard of it until I met my dearest friend on this planet. We worked together at B&N and that was her theme song. I’d be doing dishes in the back and she’d come bursting through the doors and break into that song so it’s her voice singing it in mah head (I have yet to hear the original). I need to check it out. :)

I loves teh Cheese (saw him live in New Olreans at the Hard Rock) where amongst other wonderful things he performed the Aqua Teen Hunger Force theme :D He and his band are brilliant!

Profile

Bio

I’m a Pole who grew up in Texas, is currently a graduate student in California studying Japan. How’s THAT for random?

Being Polish, my family has always drunk a lot of tea, and I am no different. I may drink more tea than water. On the other hand, I can’t say that I’m very particular about it; I’m generally pretty careless with steeping times and water temperature and I don’t even have a proper teapot (mostly because the lid broke during the move to California ;_;).

I always drink my tea unsweetened and I only add milk in the case of the most egregiously chai-ish of chais. (not really a big fan of milk in general)

Given that so many of my entries seem to be about my morning tea, I felt I should add something here about me and mornings: I fail at mornings. I fail at them a LOT. Therefore I often also fail at proper tea making in the mornings.
